The walls of Market Financial Solutions Ltd.’s London offices were a shrine to the passions of founder Paresh Raja.

There were autographed cricket bats, boxing gloves used by Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, Olympic torches and signed albums by Pink Floyd, according to people familiar with the matter and photographs seen by Bloomberg. On display were framed soccer jerseys, seemingly signed by stars including Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema. One vintage Argentina shirt was simply autographed: “Diego.”
